Secondo la sintesi Thorp, cit.: «The Bollandists — the rigorous jesuit society which looks into the historicity of saints — began to suspect about a hundred years ago that the legend of St. Catherine was simply without historical foundation. Their doubts led to the dropping of St. Catherine from the Roman Catholic calendar of feastdays in 1969. But they also suspected — and this suspicion is now widely shared — that the story of St. Catherine was merely a Christian re-working of the story of Hypatia, Hypatia who had maintained a high if blurry reputation in the minds of the Alexandrian populace. So, colleagues, I leave you with a little puzzle for the theory of reference: St. Catherine does not exist; she is really Hypatia».
